Das Borgen Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Looks like the embargo is lifted http://blog.caranddriver.com/2015-corvette-z06-output-confirmed-blows-estimates-out-of-the-water/ Let’s end the suspense: The 2015 Corvette Z06’s supercharged LT4 engine will crank out 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, each figure being 25 more than Chevrolet’s coy estimates. In fact, the Z06 fairly crushes the last-generation Corvette ZR1, which packed 638 horsepower and 604 lb-ft of torque, reinforcing the notion that that model won’t be making a return in C7 guise any time soon. And forget the last-gen Z06, which eked out just 505 horsepower from its 7.0-liter LS7. http://blog.caranddriver.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/2015-Chevrolet-Corvette-Z06-convertible-INLINE-626x382.jpg http://blog.caranddriver.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/2015-Chevrolet-Corvette-Z06-convertible-INLINE2-626x382.jpg http://media.caranddriver.com/images/media/604204/2015-chevrolet-corvette-z06-photo-604282-s-787x481.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miller11386 Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 LT4 is a ridiculous motor. Cant wait until everyone knows what all the LT4 is going into eventually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyctsv Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 I like how they left the Mustang off that list. I thought the same thing but I don't the the Shelby GT500 is still in production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyM3rC Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Wow that is very useable torque for sure, could be totally tractable around town and beastly when needed. Inb4 people get another 100hp with stupid simple mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Versluis Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 I love the new C7 Z06. Still not a fan of the C7 but man, the Z06 is drop dead sexy and has the power to back it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh8sti Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Who wants to guess at the MSRP? I'm gonna say they start in the mid-80's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverMaker Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Who wants to guess at the MSRP? I'm gonna say they start in the mid-80's probably about right. the C6Z Carbon was 100k so I expect this to crest 100k decked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
